Forbearance bad guy

The Chinese translation of "The Drop" "Dangerous Hideout" tells the story of a forbearing criminal. However, at the beginning of the film, we didn't know that Bob, played by Tom Hardy, was a criminal. On the contrary, the director used Marv's ruthlessness to imply that Bob was a good person through the dialogue between Bob and his cousin Marv in the bar. Bob invited Rich Whelan’s friends to drink to commemorate the man who died ten years ago, and Marv’s response was "Stop spending money on a corpse"; Marv who asked Millie to pay back the money, and the one who interceded for her Bob. Immediately afterwards, the director sent a warm man's ultimate artifact-a dog, which created Bob's image of a caring and warm man. After that, create conflicts through the addition of new characters to strengthen Bob's "good guy" image. Facing Eric's repeated provocations and unreasonable demands, Bob chose to compromise. At this point, Bob gave us the image of "too good to be cowardly". Movie fans may be dissatisfied in their hearts. Is this still the "bad ruffian" and "tough guy" Mr. Tang we are familiar with? However, this man is far from simple, and the director has paved the way for Bob's final outburst. For example, we know from the police that Bob goes to church every day, but has not eaten a communion in the past three years; he named his dog with the icon sculpture Rocco in the church; and his skillful handling of severed hands all hints that this is a sin. man of. The close-up of the basement of Bob's house given by the director, the oil tank in the dark corner, seems to hide a secret. In the film, the director used a lot of facial close-ups to reflect Bob's inner activities, and in almost all close-ups, Bob's expression was as calm as ever. Until the end, Bob still put out $10,000 in hopes of a peaceful settlement, but Eric pressed on every step of the way. Bob began to tell the story of the kid he killed, nonchalantly as if he was talking about an irrelevant person. At this point, Bob no longer chooses to forbear, because he has nowhere to go. So he shot decisively. Good people are not cute, and a little bad can capture the hearts of the audience. Soup fans are rejoicing at the moment.

The Drop quotes

  • [first lines]

    Bob: [narrating] There are places in my neighborhood no one ever thinks about. You see them every day and every day you forget about them. These are the places where all the things happen that people are *not* allowed to see. You see, in Brooklyn, money changes hands all night long. It's just not the kind you can deposit in a bank. All that money needs to end up somewhere. They call it a drop bar. A bar the bosses choose randomly each night to be the safe for an entire city. You never know up front when *your* bar becomes the drop bar. You just take all the city's dirtiest money and bag men come and go from all over town and nobody ever sees it coming. Nobody ever sees it going. And then they could tell you to be the drop bar next week. Or maybe even next year.

    Bob: The point is, you never know. In the meantime, me, I just tend bar. And wait.

  • Nadia: He killed a kid named "glory days."

    Bob: Yeah. I heard that. Yeah, I heard that. Richie Whelan. And... Why?

    Nadia: I don't know. He's not a big fan of "why," Eric.
